Does anyone have an accurate source for locating Gluten Free Medications. I thought the glutenfreemedicines.com was accurate until someone posted that some of Pfizer's drugs are not safe. When I do get sick I take Zithromax, which according to glutenfreemedicines.com is listed as gluten free. Pfizer's website reports that it HAS gluten.

If Pfizer's website states that their item contains gluten, I would believe the manufacturer. They change formulations of fillers from time to time. Unfortunately gluten free lists sometimes aren't updated fast enough.

Personally, I don't ever rely on a list. I call the manufacturer and check each time I'm prescribed a medication. There are 2 that I take on a continuing basis, and I call them every few months to make sure they're still gluten-free.

I use Gabriel, Zuzu, or Andrea Rose cosmetic concealers, all Gluten Free and Fragrance Free. I have scars from surgery and red marks from hemangiomas. I just dab some on and let dry happy a second coat in those areas. With my age I avoid powders that make skin look more wrinkled.
